I thought the pass to Fages was forward, but I also think the Leeds one was borderline. It certainly moved forward in relation to the ground, but that's not important if it is back in relation to the players (Stevo talks about the momentum rule. There is no such named rule. It is annoying, however, when he he refers to "the ball drifting forward". It doesn't matter where it drifts, it is the direction in which it is passed that's important.)
We were unlucky to have played so well and still come away with no points. However, I would make two observations:
Mozza did too many minutes because, basically, we only had two, nailed on props. The replacements, including Jordan Walne, who scored a great try, were back rowers. Apparently Tasi was poorly.
Secondly, we potentially wasted an opportunity by playing Locke. He is clearly not fit and was a waste of a replacement, forcing Tompkins to do more than appropriate and disrupting the plan. Evalds to start and Owen as replacement would have made more sense.
Or was MK too impatient to show off his new big name? If so, it may have cost him the game.
I still think we are probably two wins short of being able too make the 8, for me much more important and building momentum to carry over into next season.
I also say London won't carry their bat and will beat someone before the end of the season, just hope we don't assume it's a win and really go all out too beat them, doing so might help us get into a positive points position.
I think were going to fall short but as Michigan says it's all about building momentum for next season realistically we should be looking at top6 minimum.
